Lenerville raised the flag to honor a U.S. Navy Captain’s retirement. The ceremony is performed at the request of the retiree. The retiree mails the flag to the ship and a flag certificate, signed by the ship’s commanding officer, is sent to the retiree when the flag is returned. Bonhomme Richard, forward-deployed to Sasebo, Japan, is serving forward to provide a rapid-response capability in the event of a regional contingency or natural disaster.
